#Types_of_Values
Values are classified in many ways.
First
Classification
It is based on the fundamentals. Scholars have stated four
fundamental human values. These are-
1- Freedom
The quest for freedom, together with the quest of happiness, has been
the main driving impulse in the evolution of human civilization. The desire for
freedom arises because freedom is the essential condition for any growth.
2- Creativity
One of the unique endowments of human beings is the internal urge to change
things for the better.
3- Love
Human life finds true fulfillment in warm, friendly relationships. Such
relationships can be established only on the basis of love. Love as an human
value can be classified as follows- 1- personal love, 2- love between man and
woman, 3- love amongst equals- brother, sister, relations and friends, 4- love
as spiritual value
4- Wisdom
Just as love is the highest quality of heart, wisdom is the highest
quality of mind. Cultivation of both these qualities is essential for the full
flowering of human greatness.
Second Classification

categories:
